Actually, on Mac OS QuickTime supports it.  So in just about any decent Mac
OS newsreader and web browser one can view the image inline.  Still, there
is no value added by it being JPEG 2000 and in 16 bits per color component.
Even the most fancy hardware money can buy these days offers more than 10
bit of depth for display.  And I don't know about any hardware that uses
more than 12 bit for gamma correction.
